What is Black Eye Coffee?

A black eye coffee is a very simple drink. It’s a cup of normal drip coffee, either iced or hot, with a double shot of espresso. The name is said to have come from the way the coffee looks when you add the shots in, but we think the name comes from the fact that this drink feels like a punch to the face. This thing will seriously wake you up, and it’s obvious why.

A red-eye coffee or depth charge, which is a normal coffee with only a single shot of espresso added, can have anywhere from 250-400mg of caffeine in one cup.

So, you can imagine how much a black eye coffee has. And if you want to push your imagination even further, the idea of a green eye coffee, which is known as a dead-eye, also exists. This drink is coffee with a triple shot of espresso in it.

In terms of taste, the black eye coffee is definitely strong. However, it all depends on how you make. You can alter it to taste lighter or heavier, but at the end of the day, most people are in this for the caffeine kick.
